My Partner Is Having Chemo And Can She Drink The Tea Of Guanabana Leaves?

Hi doctor, I have a question

My partner is having a treatment with chemo and radio rx for cancer.

I have read that the leaves of the Guanabana are also a very strong against cancer, what is your idea about this and can she drink the tea of the leaves during the chemo cure ?

Guanabana also called : soursop, Graviola, Guabano, Annono Muricata

No harm in taking tea with Graviola. But remember that if leaves can cure cancer and boost immunity then why all this struggle with chemo and RT. True that antioxidant properties exist in fresh fruits and vegetables and that helps in immunity. That doesn't mean that their intake only is sufficient. Gaviola can be taken just like any other fruit or vegetable.
